This document provides a concrete mix design code RC5001 that meets British standards for strength class C40/50 concrete exposed to chlorides. The mix uses 420 kg/m3 of cement, 811 kg/m3 of sand, 992 kg/m3 of 20mm crushed granite coarse aggregate, and 5040 ml/m3 of superplasticizer admixture. The target mean strength is 58 MPa with a water-cement ratio of 0.37 and fine aggregate to total aggregate ratio of 0.45. The concrete density is specified to be 2383 kg/m3.
